Great episode! It inspired me to pull out my ungainly blu-ray box set of Archives V1 and spin the Topanga discs while dealing with an ungodly pile of unfiled records this weekend. Pat mentioned the Mynah Birds tracks, which were available to listen to through the blu-rays if your player was hooked up to the internet, through the BD-Play feature. You had to click on pushpin icons on the timeline, and it would stream those tracks and others. Unfortunately, at some point, the BD-Play aspect was discontinued, which was a major bummer for those who'd gone to all the extra trouble to be able to play those special tracks. Not sure if Neil made them available on his website or not.

Here's a list of the extra tracks that were only available through the BD-Live (not BD-Play) feature, including the version of Cinnamon Girl that was for some reason not included in the Fillmore East set (even though it was already on bootleg releases of that show). Also the Mynah Birds tracks were put on a RSD 7" single at least. http://nyarchives.altervista.org/NYArchives1/bdlive.htm

My thought about Mike’s questions regarding what Neil put on the set and how things are organized: I think Neil looks at every release in a vacuum. It doesn’t matter to him how it came out before, this is the vision for the product at this time. Personally, I think if you are putting out a box called archives, you don’t include widely released content, but if it was Neil Young History Vol. 1, the order makes sense.
